A customer booked us to clear his late sisters hoarded house and posted the keys to the property to our head office as he could not be present due to work commitments and living five hours from the hoarded property.
Once the keys arrived we arranged a date with the customer to clear and clean the hoarded two bedroom house in North East England.
As you can see from the photographs below, the poor lady was living in squalor with food waste and empty bottles covering the floor and furniture, this was due to her being blind.
The bedroom upstairs is where the lady sadly passed away, the mattress had rotted in areas due to bodily fluids, and had to be disposed of properly along with the orthopaedic bed frame.
It took a few hours to clear and clean the upstairs bedroom, we managed to donate a lot of shoes, new bedding, perfumes, books, and bric a brac to a local charity, whilst towels, sheets and clothing went to the local cat and dog shelter.
The kitchen had grime covering the benchtops, flooring and appliances, all the white goods were to be disconnected and cleared, it took just over two hours to clear the kitchen, once clear, the team covered it in cleaning products to let set for half an hour, they then went back to clean the kitchen which took an hour.
One of the team members cleared and cleaned the bathroom, moving on to the staircase where the carpets were removed and the bannister, skirting boards and stairs were cleaned.
The living room had empty bottles of alcohol and food packaging covering the floor and furniture, it took a couple of hours with three team members to clear, we managed to donate a large amount of crystal ware, dvds, a television and the two seater sofa to a local charity, the rest went to recycling.
A small cupboard under the staircase had an under-counter freezer which had to be recycled due to its poor condition.
The team proceeded to remove the carpet from the living room, then cleaned the whole room.
The smallest bedroom downstairs contained a single bed and mattress, a large chest of drawers, a fridge freezer, a shelving unit, a side table, a fold-down dining table and an armchair, we managed to donate all of this furniture to charity due to its immaculate condition.
Books, records, bedding, a brand new massage table, and clothing were also donated to charity.
Finally, the team of hoarded house clearance specialists removed the carpets throughout the downstairs bedroom and hallway, then proceeded to clean throughout.
Once the whole house was cleared and cleaned, we emailed photographs to the customer, and returned the keys 1st class and tracked.
